There will be a total of four books in The Inheritance Cycle. Christopher Paolini has advised that he still intends to continue writing after this, but it will be with a different storyline and most likely some new sets of characters. He hasn't ruled out bringing some old characters back.
The book will be out November 8th 2011
Book Four of the Inheritance Cycle was released in November of 2011 and is titled Inheritance.
No, Paolini was born in California. He grew up in Montana.
Rumors of Paolini's atheism are founded on the atheistic worldview of the elves in his books. When questioned on his religious beliefs Paolini replied, "I don't discuss my own beliefs in public but I will say the beliefs I've given my characters do not necessarily represent what I myself believe." Additionally, Paolini's fondness of Phillip Pullman, the notable atheist/agnostic author of the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, may have also contibuted to such speculation, or perhaps he has been confused with Pullman himself.
Yes, the Inheritance Trilogy is now being called the Inheritance Cycle.
The following page after the story in Brisingr says:
Here Ends the Third Book
of the Inheritance Cycle.
The Story Will Continue and Conclude
in Book Four.
The last book is titled Inheritance. It was released by Alfred A. Knopf publishers on November 8, 2011.
The Book ' Brisingr' (also known as 'The Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular') was released on Sept 20th 2008 as the third book in the series 'Inheritance Cycle' written by Christopher Paolini. Brisingr means "fire" in the fictional Ancient Language of Alagaesia, and is the true name for Fire, which is the magic Eragon used in the first book. The book is not legally available for free online reading but can be purchased online at Amazon, ebay, or Barnes and Noble.
Tolkein. Heavily. He credits him in his books. Among the various accusations of plagiarism Tolkein ranks quite highly on the list of authors that Paolini allegedly rips off. The fourth Star ars film is also pretty high on that list, as the plot of Eragon reads incredibly similarly to it, along with many film critics making the comparisson upon the release of the film. But, Star Wars rips off The Hidden Fortress, so the credit for that story just keeps on going back.
No, he's only around 25 and hasn't gotten married yet, though he has gotten proposals from obsessed fans. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Really!??! He's that old??? He wrote Eragon when he was only 16...
actually he wrote his first draft aroun age 15!
he's 17, they show his birthday in i think eragon or maybe eldest
EDIT: At the beginning of Eragone he is 15, a few pages later he is 16. So by the time the last book ends (Inheritance) he could be anywhere between 16 and 19.
There are to be four books in the series. So far Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr have been released. The fourth book is called Inheritance and will be published on November 8th 2011.
2008 I think he has only written 2 books. Eragon and Eldest. His third book Brisngr is due out in September of 2008. He is also working on a forth book at this time.
His family members include his parents, Kenneth Paolini and Talita Hodgkinson, and his sister, Angela Paolini. ^ a b c The Author. Alagaesia.com. Accessed 2007-10-30.
Tolkien attended King Edward's School prior to entering college, and he attended Exeter College at Oxford to study English Language. He later received a professorship at Oxford, and he taught there for many years.
His old fan mail address was Christopher.Paolini.Fan.Address@gmail.com. However this address has been closed since it was created. From what I have heard he does not have an email that he personally checks.
SPOILER WARNING!*** They defeat Galbatorix. Nasuada becomes queen of Alagaesia (sp?) and Murtagh becomes good, because he falls in love with Nasuada. Roren lives and gets to be an Earl. They rescue a ton of hijacked dragon eggs and Eragon goes on to train a new order of dragons and riders. He and Arya go their separate ways and do not become a couple... very disappointing.
From what I heard, and what I can answer, they are trying to make Eldest into a movie, but with everything they pretty much messed up in Eragon the Movie, it's going to be hard to find what will go into Eldest to make it match up and still follow the original storyline.
My friend said no, but I'm most likely sure it will be filmed, I say it might be finished 2009 or 2010 but that is just a wild guess.
Hopefully not because the first film was so bad. They totally changed half the storyline so I don't think they would be able to film a second one as it wouldn't fit.
By someone else,
You! Yeah, you up above me! Listen, It WILL be made into a movie because I've seen the trailer. Also, you are right about the movie being cheesy, they changed half the story and it was too short. I liked it anyways.

I hope not, they screwed up the first one so bad it would be impossible. And because of how much they changed the movie I now hate it(the movie not the book, i am in love with the book).
****DRAGON LOVER****
The first movie was terrible because the Ra'zac got killed then and aren't suppose to until the 3rd book. But they could always just kill the parents instead i guess. Plus Murtagh wasn't taken away, there were no twins, and Adjahed didn't die. If they are able to make the movie i give props to the director. I say it should be a movie tho so yeah. GO DRAGONS
~A new person (Yeah I'm adding on!)~
Okay to the person on top of me. First of all, Murtagh wasn't taken away until Eldest, AND Ajihad doesn't die til the next one either. k? And to the people up above that, you're right they screwed Eragon up SO BAD it's probably impossible to make a second movie. Christopher Paolini is probably pissed off. But I gotta say Eragon the movie wasn't screwed up as much as some others (ex: The Lightning Thief). And I hear they're making a movie for them, so it might happen. But the movie for Eragon was s'posed to come out about 2 years ago. So I'm not that sure either.
On the first day the book was released, Brisingr sold 500,000 copies in North America alone. (From the Canadian Press article) According to publisher Random House Children's Books, "Brisingr" sold 550,000 copies in the first 24 hours, four times higher than "Eldest," the second of Paolini's planned four-book series. It was the highest opening ever for a Random House children's book, but far below the 8.3 million copies in the United States alone for the launch of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," and the 1.3 million for Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn," released at midnight on Aug. 2.
